I'm getting advice through chatting programs about what to do if I can't leave and the situation gets worse. Much of it is common knowledge from the civil war:
Sit in the bathroom - bathtub if it gets really bad. Get away from the windows.
Make sure the doorman likes you.
Don't try to leave the neighborhood before you know where the snipers are.
Store up food and water.
If someone told me on Tuesday that these kinds of things would even come out in conversation today, I would not have taken that person seriously.
Ironically enough, just a few weeks ago there was a massive display next to the Starco Center where they had set up something like 500 toilets with a slogan like, "Isn't 15 years of sitting on toilets enough?" I didn't think I would seriously be considering spending quality time in my bathroom any time soon.

it depends on two things;
1-the idea is to leave as many walls as possible between you and the outside. those are street fights, and stray bullets are the main danger.
2- if they're shelling, go "low", but do not go into basements that are exposed to the side walk; you're better off on the roof in that case.
3- stock up on some cold bear and arak, cigarettes, bzourat... and playing cards. It also helps to have a few boardgames handy.
